Fics like A quiet I keep on keeping

Robin Buckley is a lesbian. And Eddie Munson is gay. And they’re dating. Well, at least to the outside world. And to a very, (very) confused Steve. “I told Steve Harrington you’re my boyfriend.” Through the receiver. Alien words through plastic. He wants to laugh, really he does, but all he can manage is a bit of stunned silence until “Why the hell would you do that?” With no malice. Not even really a tone to his voice other than curiosity. He of all people shouldn’t really have to ask, because he already knew the answer. He was a liar too. “I panicked” she says, a shuffling on the other end. “He was getting all… mushy, saying stuff about feelings..” “For you?” “I know, right, can you believe it? “You don’t think you could have told him the truth?” He asks, and there’s silence beneath the static. “Seems like you two are real close.” And she sighs, and she lets out a noise of frustration that Eddie knows all too well, when you want to tell someone something, need to, and you can’t. You just can’t. Because it’s Hawkins Indiana and sometimes you have to keep your mouth shut just to stay safe.
